most un-american to say that think about it this way just go with me for a second here you know that scene from the oliver stone film wall street when gordon gekko played by michael douglas in a role that would win him an oscar appears at a shareholders meeting of a company or paper to defend his actions and his grotesque worldview and delivers the now famous speech where he says. for lack of a better word is good. we just write great works. greek. and can. guess. at the age. and. in my mind. will not only stay tells. but that other malfunctioning corporation of this. audience is flipped out they cheered everybody in the eighty's wanted to be gordon gekko but the thing is this all over stone road is a piece of satire but nobody got it just the opposite all over stone was trying to

send up the excesses of the reagan era michael douglas his portrayal helped inspire a whole generation of slicked back hair doos in double breasted seats adopting the greed is good eat those and pursuing the american dream as it had come to be defined now delivers a pretty well for a very few wall raining poverty and misery down on many and serving as a homicidal force for others because people do in fact die for lack of access to health care in the richest country in the world that's the us of a human consumption is in fact accelerating the instruction of our planet people do in fact die in wars waged based on lies that profit precious view over five million children globally each year do not reach their fifth birthday because they die of starvation all of this is not because the system that puts man on the moon or can squeeze an entire library onto. computer chip the size of

a thumbnail has failed to find a way to solve these problems rather our system without apology places corporate greed human meet and greet take back the popular phrase is not good now the question many within the occupy movement are trying to solve is this one what would world look like that had a culture and an economic system the place is human need above corporate greed and how do we bring that world into being who cares what it is called call it socialism call it real democracy now call it chunky monkey cherry garcia the world needs to change radically needs to change dramatically and it needs to change fast this documentary is an invitation for you to participate in that positive change frankly because we need you yes you.

can so bad the world is it's a very wealthy word but makes it a problem if you just saw all the money in one place. that. i saw you gotta do is go and money is going to get four hundred people there will. be four million yes six want to hear. the wealth of thirty percent of american families one percent the wealth of ninety five percent of americans so now that we've identified the problem broadly speaking what do you think the solution is raise your hand if you think the way our representative democracy currently functions bought and sold as it is by wall street and the pacs offers a bright ray of hope forward anyone to the very same pub anyone politicians know if they sit out spend their competitors. you know when they win the election ninety

four percent time. so. they have no fear of the american people they fear the people who are going to fund their campaign right so that means that you me and just about everyone we know has very little say over who represents us and little to no influence over them once they get into all this process is rigged to throw an enormous amount of money behind candidates in the two major parties and consequently choosing the lesser of two evils is something americans have done with a fatalistic shrug of the shoulders for far too long to say the u.s. government currently functions of for and by the people would be a funny joke if the joke were not on you mean almost everyone we know imagine a world in which your single voice carried as much weight as the c.e.o. of goldman sachs and you're starting to imagine the world that the occupy movement is trying to bring into being a little is going to be just not about unanimity we will be like that duke ellington jazz orchestra. everybody got the only thing we need to do because not

the conductor he just didn't put the money but he does the it. just encourages yes that's democracy in action at the level experiencing the horizontal community and culture and organization. was so radicalizing for people and continues to be so radicalizing because it draws such a stark contrast up against what they're fighting and actually in their minds clarifies what they're up against more than somebody. more than it would be clarified if somebody got up and tried to clarify it for them thanks to occupy wall street there's a lot of new ways of organizing which is not just calling people to participate in something you came up with but giving people the opportunity to create itself and to be. a regional brain it's timing about what to do so that they feel in. however

it is it's also i think. finally put the kybosh on let's organize a rally on a saturday in washington d.c. when everything is closed and people come from around the country and spend a lot of money to walk around in a circle and go home. for what you see. people. being. particularly much for. i guess what you say. no longer represents the people the people are going to take.

i. think i heard. i. it

was a ship or was we made our way to fort dix site. i. mean five thirty in the morning is a comedy on most mornings early in the occupy wall street movement there would only be about fifty to maybe two hundred or so occupying the space but at five thirty in the morning on the morning of october fourteenth two thousand and eleven several thousand people were gathered there wide awake. because mayor mike bloomberg had declared that his own personal army his words the n.y.p.d. constituting the seventh largest army in the world when he dicked occupy wall street and these thousands were there not just in solidarity they were there are more than ideas and cardboard signs in an urgency to protect the young movement and many of them were prepared to go to jail trying to fill the space i had already

gone to jail once since all of this started as an organizer with the october two thousand and eleven coalition i had been in washington d.c. in the early days of the movement and you can see me here after suggesting repeatedly i had met inside the hart senate office building that we find other uses for the money we lavish on our homicidal bull geo political china shop and the foreign policy i was given to do not pass go go directly to jail card and in a few days i would be arrested again this time for protesting corporate personhood on the steps of the supreme court. that it would occupy movement all around the world because we love. working people and. that jane joined us from the grave that we have the fact that it. occupy d.c. occupy wall street occupy the supreme court not everywhere in my willingness to go to jail for the movement though i was hardly unique and with the thousands that

room zuccotti on the morning of october fourteenth it seemed that you're about to eclipse the previous one day record total of seven hundred protesters arrested on the brooklyn bridge what was it that brought all of those people to music cotty that this. not be a revolution in the traditional sense but this is a revolution of the life of the people losing anything not least done by police barricades and pepper spray and kill millions if everything looks like a clean the you deliberately kill. in the first six months of the movement about seven thousand people have been arrested in occupy related protests for things like why all the fuss. and why in the predawn hours on that friday in october were so many prepared to go to jail i i i

thought we were supposed to get cleaned out of the park we swept the show up park and then we took brooms and we took them to the to wall street to co clean up wall street i think most of the problems with the filth was in the offices so we can get to it but we did a little victory lap and the police brutalized the series so i think i you know they do that they have done that for trying to twenty five years in this country during that years nonviolent confrontations with the police whether they be in asserting one's first amendment rights to assemble for an uncommitted spontaneous marches in the streets can be incredibly empowering the building experience an antidote to the years of disempowering and williams free speech zones when it comes to be the new and yet civil resistance is but one part one tactic of the movement if you only saw the early stages of the occupy movement through the lens of the mainstream media you might think the movement was soley about clashes with the police i.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok. you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. more news today violence is once again flared up the face these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are all over the day.

will two parties keep us politics a one way street. or will new voices disrupt the power of power alone. plus if america changes trunks to a selection of clothes guides monday november fifth on our to. the. lines motion to be soon which brightened if you knew me about song from phones to christians. who screen stunts on t.v. don't come. to least be told language. cold programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks books seventy odd piece interviews intriguing

stories for you to. see when trying. to find out more visit our big teeth don't call. so. so.

are you going to set me up. like this again i don't. get that. there are a hundred million get it right when i was young i thought their. people do not think anything man there's no honor in. my part that everybody has and i write anything but i can. buy that and that my mother didn't get our back country i don't come home oh i'm in new york city my the new york city in the money . there's no reason there's no because no one ever and i don't.

know. i can't believe. ok let's just be honest here for a moment for some people this is and justifiably so a battle about a police state since one thousand a.d. the number of people in prison per capita in the united states has more than tripled we now in prison a greater percentage of our population than any other country in the world in fact the united states is only five percent of the world's population has twenty five percent of the world's prison population in the u.s. one in every one hundred six white males aged eighteen or over is incarcerated for

hispanic males that number is one in thirty six and one in fifteen black males over eighteen is currently in jail between one thousand eighty seven and two thousand and seven state spending on incarceration related expenses increased one hundred twenty seven percent of all spending on higher education during that same period rose a mere twenty percent is it that much more profitable jail or population than it is to educate and. i think that's a great read and understand their head lock arms now you know why take me to jail if you want to continue to do this i rather go to jail you know watch you continue to put my brother and my sister my mom's or anybody else that looks like me in arrest and think it should be a scary thing not just for those you know you know people of color or minority can but out of us know that we have to live in a society like that. ok so depending on your geographic location your everyday reality may reflect the police state we live in two larger or smaller

degrees but at least you have your health right at least you have your home. already made every job very issues like that which are so pfizer because some other . out of every three thousand women are little am profiting no matter what. kind of . action taking place right now. by cameroon all right. thank you you're welcome pal sometimes it demanding change on a large scale has to start with small groups of individuals saying enough is enough like this group of individuals and western massachusetts who gathered in an attempt to stop the bank of america from executing yet another foreclosure auction. the fact is it's a five five by. a lack of government regulations gave banks enough rope to operate like cowboys in the wild west and they responded by lassoing homeowners with these predatory lending practices when the housing bubble burst bank of

america got bailed out and those with underwater mortgages were sold out so that c.e.o.'s like brian moynihan could collect the year end bonus of over nine million dollars a week lou with that they have enough money to pay for a reasonable war gauge at today's values so this is something that all of can stand behind we believe that when folks have you know a home that they should be able to stay in that home and it's not like they're not willing to pay this is the weirdest movement i've ever worked in this way and the foreclosure movement because we are begging people to take money and they won't take it of course occupy hardly invented foreclosure defenses people like grace and high foreclosure organizations have been toiling away at this for years but when occupy wall street went to east new york in december to march occupy out more and more people around the country started to realize that there was another way to back off. was. that back to the u.k.

where i got that right i think and sometimes demanding change in a large scale starts because even smaller groups dr margaret flowers is among the nation's leading advocates for true health care reform health care reform that would eliminate the for profit insurance companies and provide medicare for all individuals in the united states a former pediatrician and congressional fellow dr flowers worked within the system for years after the farm passed i was traveling around the country and people kept saying well how are we going to get single payer i was speaking around you know various states and and i stole a kind of came together like oh well unless you know as a as a movement even though we're in the majority of the population once a single payer system we're not going to be strong enough as a single issue. kind of movement to have that kind of political power and health care is really part of the broader social economic justice movement anyway and so we really need to come together bring our strengths together combine our strengths

to have the power and so i know this in my talks i was starting to shift more into you know calling for a broader movement as a core organizer of the october two thousand and eleven coalition that occupied freedom plaza in washington d.c. dr flowers thought fit to attend as an uninvited guest a wall street comes to washington for health care conference i crashed the party with her i doubt they would let my big camera and so i had to shoot the video this impromptu meeting with the real death panels on my cell phone was it how can we do that and that i don't have it could i accept all of. the facts because they can provide was my was out i was. fine there was no cannot be you are right. the real. life. bit.

shall. we go but nonetheless to join protesters picketing outside where a dare risk wrote shared her story of why health care was literally a life and death issue i came here because. for my father my heart was full suicide get shot it had every state. but because her life partner did have enough money to pay for health care to take care of it and didn't want to ask because my sister and myself were fifty four years old this is the most considerate suicide that i've ever heard of if he had to put sticky notes on everything he had borrowed from everybody saying you know we turned this post this person and cetera et cetera everything that could possibly be good the whole time i want my pork chop

said please tell me where my heart so i started from i have to find. that it was he says i'm sure you understand this is something i have seen you can't hold you know without but simply not i'm sure that's why i'm here at this forum and i've heard people like every person that died for lack of access to health care somethings father or son or daughter thank you take a stand up not only for my father but for all those like. you have. it is a. thing i. think a public a i think you think you know my mortgage is underwater and my health care costs are going through this here is america i'll just pull myself up by the bootstraps and get to work nose to the grindstone will
